Carbo loading party: Lau Pa Sat invites runners, public to feast on hawker food before StanChart marathon, Lifestyle News

It aims to create a larger “fuel tank” of stored muscle glycogen, a type of carbohydrate and the body’s preferred energy source during such activity.

Carbohydrates also fuel the brain, aiding in maintaining focus and decision-making during endurance events, according to an article written by a dietician at Mount Elizabeth Hospitals.

Consuming a high carbohydrate intake prior to a long-duration endurance event may delay the onset of fatigue and reduce risk of injury, further boosting the athlete’s capacity for sustained performance, research suggests.

More than hawker food

Aside from the feast, participants can take part in activities such as capturing their pre-race moments at the ‘Fuel Up’ Video Booth or customising their race-day look at the Personalisation Pit Stop.

There will also be a Marathon Pro-Tip segment, featuring guest fitness coaches and trainers who will be sharing fitness tips to help marathoners prepare for their run.

Tickets to this event are priced at $28 per person (before platform fees) and can be bought at https://rotisetgo.eventbrite.sg/.

They include access to two hours of the hawker buffet and all event activities.
